The Ghost WIN walk no More.

A Nyack special says: The excite
ment in Piermont and Sparkill overthe
alleged ghost seen between those two
places had become so great recently
that some timid persons were talking
about moving away. The ghost has
been detected, duly thrashed, and put
under promise TO behave himself in the
future. A night or two ago gentleman
living near Sparkill had occasion at a
late hour to cross the stone bridge over
the Sparkill creek, when hecncountered
the ghostly object, which was on its
nightly round TO brighten people. The
man picked up good-sized stone and
hurled il at the object, striking him a
pretty hard blow. The spook became
apgered and clinched with the man.
The gentleman proved too muscular,
however, for the spectre, and grasped
il 10y the throat. The ghost, in hu.
man voice, begged for mercy. Tfe
Sparkill gentleman relented. and, after
discovering the identity Of the person
who had been personating ghost,
promised to let him go and not make
known his name on condition that be
give up the spook business. The one
who has personated the ghost and caused
the worst scare ever known in thelower
part OF the county is a man well known
in Pielmont and Sparkill, but the man
who discovered his identity sticks faith
fully TO bis promise not TO reveal it.

Mr.. George BancrOft's Gracefai
Compliment to the German
Minister.

Washington special says: At the
dinner given few evenings ago by Mr..
George Bancroft, the first since his Sc
we're illness, the German Minister, Ba-
ron Won Alyensleben, was one of the
guests, and also Secretary Bayard, and,
it being near the date of the
birthday of the Emperor of Ger
many, Mr.. Bancroft rose and proposed
the health Of the latter, and Mr..
Bancroft, Secretary Bayard, and the
German Minister stood while drinking
the Emperor's health. The German
Minister was enraptured and made a
feeling response, saying the PROPOSE
ton was especially gratifying to him,
as coming from one whom his Emperor
esteemed SO highly, as he has long done
Mr.. Bancroft. The German Minister'S
face fairly glowed with delight as he
heard Mr.. Bancroft's proposition and
made his reply.
The full length portrait OF the En-
peror William which hangs in Mr.. Ban.
croft's parlor, and which was presented
TO him by Kaiser William himself, is
one of his most valued possessions, and
all the company at his dinner party Of
course looked again at the portrait in
discussing the approaching fSte of the

HALL Gentle spring. or cease your hailingl
Why Is IL that your mood prevailing
Excites In US less praise than railingl
You are the season Of sweet p0sies?
Perhaps but how about the noses
Which, too, you make to bloom as roses?
Your airs may be from bowers floral,
And sound like songs of sylvan choral,
But 10 our ears they're airs catarrhal.
They are, In fact, by far too airy.
II Of such airs you'd be more chary
We would rot care how long you tarry.
Come, sIrite, release thy lover hoary,
Who fingers In thy lap 20 lure thee
II long he stays, who will out-thaw thee;
pop't keep us watching, waiting. freezing,
Aching, shaking, shiyering, sncezing,
Snoring, blowing, snufIiiDg, wheeling.
But come, light-tripping on your toeses,
And Danish all these chilling snowses,
And take the bloom from out our nosee
And strew IL DER the earth In roses.

Something Of sensation was made
here by the published statement OF
several persons arrested for stealing
chickens. They say they were enticed
TO chicken.houses by colorcd man
named Tom Edwards on various pre-
fences, and while in the houses were
mobbed by police officers. Edwards
had been employed ny the police OIL
GERS to ascertain the movements Of the
chicken.t thieves, and, with his aid, four
men were caught on different occasions
in lighthouses. II seems now that no

to get reward.

,correspondence Of the Richmond Dispa'ch'l
OyAxoocK, vA,, March 30, 1887.
March court-day in Accomack las al
yays been a notable occasion on the
Eastern Shore, and last Monday was no
execution to the rule. There was the
usual crowd in attendance from both
Accomack ard Northampton. The
grand jury, which is still in session, has
already found long list Of indict.
ments. the most of them being against
men charged with violating the local
option law.
James III. Evans, a white man living
near Wattsyille, in the northern part OF
Accomack, was committed to jail yes
terday, charged with attempting to. as
sault Mrs. Gertrude Birmingham, who
was married only three weeks ago.
The man was prevented from accom-
plishing his purpose by the timely ar
rival OF the husband, who put him to
fight. Evans is said to be a near reia-
tive of the woman he attempted to as
sault, and the affair has created much
excitement and Indignation in the COM
munity where it occurred.
The weather has been getting steadily
colder here since Saturday, and on
Tuesday morning the ground was
covered with snow. There can hardly
be doubt that the farmers and truckers
have suffered TO considerable extent
but how much is not yet known. Many
had bedded their sweet potatoes and
put their round potatoes in the ground,
while peas and other early vegetables
have been up for some time. The fruit
crop. however, is yet unhurt.
In spite of the low prices realized
for the past two years by the farmers
of this section for their products it is
said that a larger acreage than ever be-
fore viii be put in cultivation on the
Eastern Shore the coming season, but
il IL believed that there will be great
or diversity of crops, more attention
being paid than formerly to the raising
OF early trucks, such as Strawberries,
peas, radishes, etc. The profit made
on strawberries is sometimes ahnos
fabulous. A lew years ago maj
living near here cleared $500 in on'
season on an acre of ground planted II
strawberries, and others are reported u
have been equally successful.
The approaching close OF the dreds
ing season is causing many boats en-
gagged in this important industry Il
come into port for the summer.
